Chapter 403: A Thousand Cuts
Yu Yao immediately called Lin Fengcao.
"For the New Year, you came to Changshi?"
"Come?" Lin Fengcao was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that you are also here?"
"Yes, I live at the Tianya Lijia Inn not far from the Forest Park. ”
"Huh, you won't······ In this way, you wait for me, I am in the forest park, and I am about to leave, so I will go directly to you. ”
In the evening, the two had dinner together in the small restaurant of the inn, and Boss Fu also gave him his own pickled bamboo shoots and pickles for them to taste.
It turned out that Lin Fengcao came to Changshi this time for the three wild huanghuali trees of Wang Dayan.
After the winter vacation, Lin Fengcao first returned to his hometown in Fujian Province and got the news from a friend who was in the mahogany business. This friend was one of the people who saw the goods a year ago, but Wang Dayan's asking price was too high, so he didn't take the risk to gamble.
This kind of news will not be leaked among peers, what if your bet goes up? Won't I become a laughing stock? Even if you lose money, it will give you another way. But Lin Fengcao is different, he is just a player, the relationship between the two is not bad, Lin Fengcao is in the capital, a teacher in a first-class school, this favor will not be sold in vain.
Lin Fengcao made an appointment with Wang Dayan to meet tomorrow morning, and he arrived in Changshi at noon today. Lin Fengcao didn't have any luggage, and after arriving, he went to the National Forest Park first. Originally, he booked another hotel, but he met Yu Yao, and he also stayed at the Tianya Lijia Inn.
Yu Yao is not good at gambling, and his research on pure wood is not as deep as Lin Fengcao's.
In the evening, Lin Fengcao contacted Wang Dayan again, and made an appointment to pick them up at the inn at 8 o'clock in the morning the next day.
As a result, as soon as the next day dawned, Wang Dayan came, and this person looked like he was in his fifties, black and thin. When Yu Yao saw him, he knew that his eyes were not big, but one had big eyes and one small eye, so he fell into such a nickname.
Boss Fu knows Wang Dayan, and Boss Fu is a generation behind Wang Dayan in terms of age, but according to his grandfather's generation in Qichakou Village, he met Wang Dayan and called him brother.
Wang Dayan didn't leave immediately, and the three of them each ate a bowl of rice noodles in the store.
Wang Dayan drove a Land Cruiser, and after communicating on the way, Yu Yao learned that Wang Dayan had contracted a lot of tropical dry slopes, planted a lot of varieties, and his income was still very considerable.
These dozen huanghuali trees, he originally wanted to leave them to his children and grandchildren, but these three are indeed thick enough, and he wants to change cars this year, plus the price of haihuang has been rising in recent years, so he decided to sell these three first, and the rest will not move.
Wang Dayan said, and at the same time praised Lin Fengcao, "Mr. Lin, you are really good, you came over for the New Year, and took the lead! Several people made an appointment to come to see the tree after the eighth day of the new year." ”
"I'm also idle. Lin Fengcao replied casually.
Wang Dayan drove the car into the door of the village first. Wang Dayan's home is a small courtyard, which has a small three-story western-style building, "Go to see the trees first, eat at home at noon, the children have gone out to play, and I will let my wife cook a few specialty dishes." ”
"Boss Wang is too polite. ”
"What kind of boss am I? Wang Dayan waved his hand and walked into the mountain with Lin Fengcao and Yu Yao.
It's not far, just behind the village, the hill is not high, look at a two or three hundred meters, go up on the side, the slope is relatively gentle, go up from the bottom of the slope, there is a large piece of flat land in the middle, all fenced up, you can see fruit trees and vegetable fields, and there is a greenhouse.
Through this area, there is a path that leads to the side of the hill and then winds around the back slope.
The back slope is more primitive, mainly a forest, and the rear of the woods is steep and a deep ditch. Moreover, wooden stakes and barbed wire fences were erected around the woods, and there was a wooden fence gate at the entrance, and two large dogs were tied to the trees next to the wooden fence gate.
This forest is still not small, and these dozen huanghuali trees are not concentrated together.
Wang Dayan first took them to see the thickest one, this tree is also the best looking one, the maximum diameter can be more than 30 centimeters, and the main trunk is relatively straight, and the height of the tree head is four or five meters.
Lin Fengcao looked at this tree and couldn't help frowning, "Boss Wang, you've been cutting this tree, right?"
Wang Dayan did not shy away from it, "This Huanghuali, we also have a local name, called a thousand knives, if I don't often go to the top, prune and prune, I won't be able to grow such a rule!"
"Cultivated artificially, they do. However, although it is easy to grow thicker, the 'grid' is not necessarily thicker. Lin Fengcao said.
"That also depends on the foundation, this tree itself grows well. You can rest assured that the quality of the 'grid' will not be affected······ As for the roughness, if you are lucky, you can add it! Even if you don't intervene at all, in fact, it depends on luck, doesn't it?"
Lin Fengcao heard this, "The other two have also suffered a thousand cuts, right?"
Wang Dayan grinned, "I just used the knife, there is no other catalytic means, and it is no problem to be wild itself!"
Lin Fengcao didn't say anything more, "Okay, let's take a look first." ”
The other two Huanghuali trees are relatively close, less than ten meters, and there are two Lu Junpine trees more than ten meters high in the middle. Wang Dayan said that after deciding on the matter of Huanghuali, these two Lu Junsong trees happened to be cut and sold together.
One of the two huanghuali trees began to fork more than half a meter high, like a slingshot, and the thickness of the main trunk was nearly 40 centimeters, but the thickness of the fork looked less than 20 centimeters. It seems that when Wang Dayan found out, it was such a foundation, and there was no way to remove a fork of the same thickness, so he could only repair the side branches on the fork.
The trunk of this tree must have a grid, but regardless of the thickness of the grid, the whole is too short, and the possibility of branching out is not small at all, or it is very thin.
The other one was taller and taller, more than twenty centimeters in diameter, but about the same height as the thickest one. This tree, Wang Dayan has also used a knife, but as he said, the knife also has to look at the bottom, this tree has been to the top, pruned the branches, and it took a lot of effort, but it still grew like this.
Lin Fengcao looked at the tree and shook his head even more. Judging from his experience, this tree should be lower than the other two, and it is estimated that it will be in the age of forty or fifty years, and the proportion of heartwood that can produce is worrying when it grows up.
All things considered, only the thickest one is worth betting. Of course, it also depends on how Wang Dayan quotes.
After reading it, the three of them walked to a relatively open area in the woods, and Lin Fengcao asked directly, "Boss Wang, after reading it, I won't be polite, just quote directly!"
"Mr. Lin, are you three all-inclusive? or heads-up?"
Lin Fengcao smiled, "You should first say what the price is, and then let me choose!"
